So you would be making about as much money in the summer as in the winter.

"shit at webmastering"? Bullshit! Summer slow down is a FACT. Does it effect all of us? No, absolutely not. I for one use to never be effected by the summer slow down as a webmaster. I worked hard year round making free sites and submitting galleries. In the summer you get more exposure at TGPs as some webmasters take time off.
Re Summer Slowdown:
I own several paysites and have a ton of affiliates and I can tell you what LB said is correct. High volume sites will in fact experience a summer slow down. Imagine owning a paysite that gets 50,000 hits a day to it's tours. With so many webmasters pushing traffic that volume does slow in the summer and hence so do sales. This has nothing to do with "shit at webmastering", it has to do with an affiliate program that rely on outside sources for traffic.
This is not true for EVERY paysite of course but the majority it is.
